<p>Vice Ganda became emotional in his latest vlog titled “Ang Istorya Ko Na ‘Di Nyo Alam,” wherein he opened up about his struggles in the recent months.</p><p>According to the It&#x27;s Showtime host, it is not only the COVID-19 that gave him so much fear but also the franchise crisis that shut down the broadcast operations of his home network ABS-CBN.</p><p>&quot;Takot na takot ako sa COVID, takot na takot akong mahawa. Takot na takot akong magkasakit... Takot na takot akong tuluyang magsara ang ABS-CBN kasi mawawalan kami ng mga trabaho. Hindi lang dahil sa pera, of course, factor ang pera, totoo &#x27;yon kailangan natin ng pera, pero &#x27;yung thought na hindi na ako magtatrabaho. Hindi na kasi ako sanay na hindi nagtatrabaho,&quot; he revealed.</p><p>Vice continued, &quot;&#x27;Yung thought na mawawalan ako ng platform para makapagpatawa at saka &#x27;yung fact na &#x27;yung supporters ko hindi ako makikita, hindi ko maririnig ang madlang people, takot na takot ako roon.&quot;</p><div> </div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned=""

Una, parang nawala ang pamilya ko sa akin physically kasi hindi ako makapunta sa bahay ng nanay ko kasi hindi rin sila makapunta sa akin. Ganoon dapat i-isolate natin ang isa&#x27;t isa, mag-quarantine tayo para safe tayo at hindi kumalat ang virus. So physically parang nawala. Tapos nawala &#x27;yung mga katrabaho ko.
